Ismael Ortiz and the Beijing Olympics Posted on July 21st

Ismael, or "The Ish" as he's commonly known as in Drury University, made the minimum qualifying time of 23.00 seconds in Men's 50m Freestyle at the Coppa Italia celebrated on mid-July in Chile. The minimum qualifying time requested by the International Swimming Federation FINA (Federación Internacional de Natación) is of 23:13 seconds as B Mark, so he should be well and clear to represent Panama in the 50m Freestyle competition in Beijing. So, what's the problem? The Panamanian Olympic Comittee is being a silly bitch, that's what.
